CVE-2006-0046
squid_redirect script in adzapper before 2006-01-29 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a URL with a large number of trailing / (forward slashes), which might produce inefficient regular expressions.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.70%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
